On Saturday, May 14th, our fourth child graduated from high school. Caleb Joshua was one of 17 young people who were part of the Christian Home Educators of Southwest Florida (CHESF) graduation. Each of the young people were given an opportunity to either give a speech, perform some musical piece, produce and show a DVD presentation, or any combination of the above. Caleb gave a speech where he was gracious in thanking the LORD, his parents, and siblings for all that had been accomplished in his life. At the beginning of the ceremony, there was an introduction of each graduate along with pictures as he or she walked to the front of the church. Mr. Gerry Peterson said, "When I read all that Caleb had done, I said, 'He's been involved in a lot of things!'" Well, yes, Caleb has done several things during his school days. Some of those things include: being involved as a Character Coach in Character First training at a Christian School; playing basketball, soccer, and football for both LCHS and in the rec league; accompanying our church on the piano; taking culinary arts classes at High Tech North here in Cape Coral; refereeing soccer; being a squad leader at ALERT Cadets during our yearly regional conferences. He just did this again two weeks ago when we were in Texas.
We're very proud of him. Plus, he got to graduate with one of his life-long friends, Kenneth McDonough, who is pictured in the top photo next to Caleb. Next to Kenneth is James Peterson, one of Caleb's teammates in football and basketball.
